Synopsis: Before the telescope, people thought the moon was a huge mirror, and the mountains and oceans on its luminous surface were merely the reflection of our own mountains and oceans. Later, in the 20th... Before the telescope, people thought the moon was a huge mirror, and the mountains and oceans on its luminous surface were merely the reflection of our own mountains and oceans. Later, in the 20th century, when the first Soviet lunar probe sent back images of the far side we never see, the world was stunned to find the moon had a second visage, more deeply scarred by the pounding of meteorites and other celestial debris. NASA scientists like to call it, "the disfigured face of the moon." This irony mostly reflected the fact that from then on, all craters on that side would be named after Soviet cosmonauts and great Russian writers. So begin the adventures of Philippe, a man contending with his mother's recent death, with the growing rift between him and the only other member of his family, his younger brother Andre, and with the mysterious lessons the universe reserves for those brave enough to look to the stars and contemplate the heavens. Space and time twist in on themselves as Philippe seeks to find meaning in his life and his place in the universe. Backed by a soundtrack by Benoit Jutras, Far Side of the Moon transports audiences to other worlds in a movie-making venture directed by and starring Robert Lepage. The 107-minute film, which was shot in high definition mostly in Quebec City, was created under the guidance of executive producers Daniel Langlois and Robert Lepage. --© Official Site [More]
